Master Bath Project--Caulk, Insulation, Sealer

As with almost all of the house projects, Kelly was heavily involved. When it came time to caulk all of the 90 degree seams she jumped right in. We really wanted to have the tub functional before we went to Mexico so both of us were pretty motivated.

Here's Kelly caulking all of the joints......

And as you probably already know, if you've been watching the blog from the beginning....I am allergic to insulation, it makes me itch. So Kelly once again has to step in.Time for a test fit. We needed to set it in place to verify the supporting block thickness and we wanted to do it before we sealed the tile just in case we scratched something.

Back out with the tub to fabricate blocks and to seal the tile/grout. Kelly got it done in time for us to watch it dry. Lot's of hurry up and wait.

Pictures of the sealed Tile. In the mean time, I have been downstairs running the plumbing for the drains and finishing up the access to the pump and heater. Now we are ready for the final install.

About the Log Home

The log home we are building is the Grand Montana (package from Paramount Log Homes) on a full basement. Approximately 5200sq' when finished, will feature an open floor plan with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, tongue and groove pine/cedar interior, and windows to highlight the views of two mountain ranges (Beartooth & Prior Ranges) and the Yellowstone River.

Construction will incorporate "green" features such as insulated concrete forms, natural wood trim, high effeciency HVAC system, passive solar heating, and many of the accent pieces will come directly from the logs on the property.
